Kliq This is back with another 11Soft hangout that starts with Big Kev vs. the concept of "checkout time" and immediately spirals into hotel paranoia, road life rules, and the eternal question of whether your toothbrush has ever been through some things. From there, Kev and Sean pivot to the halftime show discourse, why certain "talking points" become white noise, and Kev's oddly wholesome reasoning for loving physics (because if he's leaving Earth, he's driving the spaceship himself). Then it gets heavier. Kev and Sean get into the Bondi hearing, "gaslighting" vs. lying, and the frustration of watching important information stay buried forever. After that, the show swings back into pure Kliq This chaos, including smoked old fashioneds, Vince McMahon as a scotch guy, travel stories that feel like a movie, WWE allegedly blocking WrestleMania watch parties in Vegas, and a Mount Ashmore draft for the best action movie stars. Plus, an all-timer prank story featuring Owen, Davey Boy, Lex Luger, and cops who were definitely "in on it." #KliqThis #KevinNash #SeanOliver #11Soft #WWE #WrestleMania #BadBunny #ProWrestling #TheKliq #ActionMovies #MountAshmore #PodcastHeat BlueChew-Get 10% off your first month of BlueChew Gold with code NASH at BlueChew.com  StopBox- Get firearm security redesigned and save 10% off @StopBoxUSA with code NASH10 at https://www.stopboxusa.com/NASH10   #stopboxpod 00:00 Kliq This #189: BAD BUNNY 00:56 Checkout is 11a 07:17 BAD BUNNY HALFTIME SHOW 13:07 Gaslighting 15:29 Smoked Old Fashioned 17:25 VKM liked Scotch 24:27 Did VKM ever ask you to move?  25:31 Working the door at a club 28:09 Picking and choosing roles 30:10 Bondi's performance at the Senate hearing 34:46 BREAK JCW LUNACY 35:16 "As a former hotel manager i will say check out is usually at 11 " 37:05 "Hopefully you guys clip the part of Big Sexy talking about how Gunther should be booked." 37:35 "I am convinced that High Kev is the best Kev!" 38:56 "Only on this show would they talk about cleaning skid marks off a toilet" 41:56 "My favorite part of the day: Listening to Kev talk about precious metals as I push my morning poop out so the fart behind it can escape" 42:50 "I'm begging to see you on Takers podcast" 47:03 BREAK STOPBOX 51:08 Opening Beck/AJ Lee promo for match 55:47 Punk vs Balor set for Elim Chamber 01:01:48 HAS TRIPLE H GONE STALE? 01:18:31 WWE  Blocking Wrestlemania Watch Parties in Las Vegas 01:24:44 FOR BEST ACTION MOVIE ACTORS 01:26:44 BREAK BLUECHEW 01:28:30 Pranking Lex Luger 01:34:44 Celtic Workouts 01:35:13 Trump's Tariff on Canada/ the Gordie Howe bridge

Visit our website ➡️➡️➡️ https://www.majesticproduction.com/This week on Make Pro Wrestling Majestic Again 222, we're exposing the fake awards, the weak narratives, and the so-called “experts” who live in their little echo chamber pretending they run wrestling. The WON Awards? Total disaster. Completely predictable. If it's not “WWE bad,” they don't want to hear it. AEW wins everything — shocker! It's embarrassing people take this stuff seriously. We break it down. No nonsense. No fear.We also talk about David Finlay leaving NJPW — big move. Where's he going? Who's smart enough to grab him? And WrestleMania ticket sales? Prices through the roof, barely a card announced, and we're a month out. Incredible. One PLE away and still no direction. We say what others won't.Then — the real power conversation.We're talking about the wrestlers who didn't just win matches — they changed the entire physical standard of the industry.“Superstar” Billy Graham — the blueprint. Before him? Regular bodies. After him? Main-event physiques. Hogan copied him. Ventura copied him. Did he create the bodybuilding era of champions?Lex Luger — the Total Package. Stage-level symmetry. Cosmetic perfection. Did he turn wrestling into a physique showcase?Karl Gotch — the shooter's shooter. Hindu squats. Catch wrestling. Japanese dojo culture. The godfather of functional conditioning.Kurt Angle — Olympic gold. Suplex city before it was cool. Legitimate athleticism elevated overnight.Chyna — revolutionary. Muscular. Credible. Changed the ceiling for women forever.George Hackenschmidt — from carnival strongman to organized athletic development.Brock Lesnar — speed, mass, violence. Redefined heavyweights.Lou Thesz — technique king. The traveling champion who set standards.Mae Young — toughness that embarrassed the boys.Mark Henry — real-world strength meets wrestling dominance.These are the people who changed the power world. Not influencers. Not internet favorites. Real impact.If you love wrestling, if you love greatness — you're in the right place.Let's make it majestic again.Watch our full podcast here ➡️➡️➡️ anchor.fm/majestic-production

On this REMIX edition of What Happened When, it's' the Finger Poke of Doom! It's the "Butts in Seats" comment. It's all here! The reason WCW lost the Monday Night Wars. Not so fast! Even though those two incidents have resonated among wrestling fans for decades, the main reason WCW lost the war is actually all wrapped up in this episode. This Monday Nitro episode sucked! Even though on this show were legendary greats like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Charlotte Flair (as a young Ashley in the ring with her dad), Kevin Nash, Goldberg, Scott Hall, Konan, Diamond Dallas Page, Chris Jericho, Lex Luger, Scott Steiner, Buff Bagwell, Eddie Guerrero and more there were too many long, drawn out vignettes and too little pro wrestling. However, there is an interesting backstory to all this, and it has to do with the ratings when Goldberg finally made it to the arena.
